Mathematics teachers will be teaching in the Spanish language and therefore
need to have native language-like fluency in Spanish. As not all incoming
students will be fully proficient and/or literate in Spanish, the teacher
will be expected to teach at different levels and adapt course materials
without simplifying the underlying content. Teachers will be expected to
plan and collaborate extensively with each other.
